He has a cafe au lait complexion, so he "looks" Indian. Still, it's wonderful to hear that he never experienced anti-Semitism in the Indian army.

Pardon me,but what exactly is a "Jewish look"??Many Israelis I have seen don't look all too different from their fairer Indian counterparts or Arabs.Anyway about the anti-semitism part-India has had no history of it(unlike Britain) & it has hosted the world's oldest Jewish communities outside the Middle East.That's also one of the reasons why Indo-Israeli ties are booming.

Most Jews in India would look Indian. Just as Jews in Yemen look Yemeni and Jews in Europe look European. Our image of Jews is generally based on the European looking Jews.
